earlier field goals guys less line penalty puts putting shoot sort team
Fouling him and putting him on the line makes him theoretically shoot less field goals and puts him on the line, but it also puts their team in the penalty earlier every quarter. And then other guys are going to the line. ... So if we're just fouling Shaq sort of indiscriminately, it can be a long night.
bench concerned couple games putting since
He has been very good. We were a little concerned putting him back on the bench. The first couple of games off the bench he did not play very well and we were concerned. Since then, he has been fantastic.

But in the second half, they were putting them in and they ended it pretty quickly.
bulls came conclusion contract credit far guy himself outright pressure putting quite signing sort tough traded trying tyson

We didn't handle it very well the last time we played them. We had a hard time reacting to it.

We had a better-than-average NBA effort. But that's not normally good enough for us to win.
couple decent game left seconds shot tie tight
We got it tight there a couple times, kind of left our feet, got a little out of control. But having said that, we got a decent look at a 3-point shot to tie the game with 18 seconds to go. We had our chances.
